A Week of Firsts

1.  Lynn's first doctor's visit post Rehab - This was with Lynn's GP, Dr. Hindmarsh.  No new information but we did get told his coumadin visits could now be a month apart!!!

2. Lynn's first outpatient therapy visit.  This one was hard because the PTs evaluation really showed no improvement in movement or feeling from Rehab.  The good part was that we did have the choice not to go to Eugene twice a week but to make the journey just once weekly.  Our goals will be to ensure the best exercise program for Lynn and to monitor progress.  Until there are signs of return, that is the most he can do.

3. Lynn's first venture downtown -  He hadn't had a haircut since the beginning of July and access to Buddy, his barber, is out so Deb Cooley got a new client.  Both of us felt a little self-conscious about unloading the chair in a downtown parking lot but the only way to get over this is to do it.

4.Lynn's first trip back to church - This went well.  His chair just fit down the side aisle coming back from communion.  People were so warm and welcoming.  Like # 3 we were nervous about it but hopefully being out will get easier and easier.

  1. It was so great to see Lynn back at church! (I didn't get a chance to tell him that.)
